If it works fine when you first start up Ubuntu it is most likely the hardware at fault - either a bad connection or an overheating problem with the display.
You could bookmark the drive and then set it not to show, that way you would get direct access through the bookmark.
The lost+found folder is used during file system checks as a temporary location for files. Deleting it won't really cause any problems, but the system will just recreate it eventually any way.
When you mounted the drive with the Disks utility it mounted it at /media/machinicsnob/18a5d1bb-26ac-437e-bb69-1b83aca17e0e, so that's the uuid that needs to be in fstab...
The boot loader that linux installs is Grub, it's (by default) a black screen with white text. A blue "choose os" screen is the Windows boot loader. So, you're system is loading the Windows boot...
I think this a Logitech issue. I've had Logitech mice (as in more than one) before that had the same (intermittent) problems you describe. I tried several "fixes" (which I can't even remember) and...
Swap space is a separate partition of the hard drive and can be any size, memory refers to the actual ram. I don't know about this being a 32 bit issue, my laptop has 4 gb of ram - I have both 64...
Have you tried running a live dvd/usb of another distro and checking how much it sees? That might help narrow down whether this a software or hardware issue.
If you plan on shrinking the existing windows partition to make room for the new partitions, you MUST use Windows to do that (or else it might not boot). After doing that it will leave unallocated...
I'd guess either bad ram (which can tested with memtest from grub), or your system has reserved a portion of ram for video memory (which you can check for in bios).
Is it a usb mouse or one of the older ps/2 ones? If usb, did you try a different port?
Clonezilla can not, by default, restore an image to a smaller drive/partition (regardless of actual used space). It's technically possible, but I've never gotten it to work reliably. Best to make a...
For a machine that old I would recommend the latest Lubuntu, Peppermint, or Puppy Linux. As for a web browser, you'll probably need either Midori or Seamonkey. Pale Moon web browser might work...
You can't install those from the desktop. Do ctrl-alt-f1 and at the prompt log in to your account. Then type sudo service gdm stop (or lightdm, kdm, mdm, whatever you're using). Then you can cd...
Try setting the keyboard shortcut to something else, there may be some other application that might be conflicting with it.
Does it do the same thing when connected to usb? If you haven't already try a direct usb connection and disable it's wifi connection. This will at least help to narrow down the problem.
You're welcome. You can mark this as "solved" by clicking on the "thread tools" drop down on the bar near the top of the screen (below the facebook thing).
You have two monitors connected, right? If that is the case, what you are seeing is the "smaller" monitor's image being stacked on top of the "bigger" monitor. Go to your monitor/display settings...
It shouldn't matter if you do it before or after. "xserver-xorg" should be the only one you need to lock, it wouldn't hurt anything to lock the hardware variants (so, if in doubt, you can safely...
If you have Synaptic installed you could launch it, search for "xserver", highlight the entry, go to "package" - "lock version". You would have to unlock any locked packages before upgrading the...
Make sure you disable Windows fast boot before installing Ubuntu. This may have something to do with your current problem, but even if it isn't the cause now it will cause problems later.
The xserver was a constant source of problems on my old desktop, updates were always breaking the display. I ended up version-locking the xserver and never had any more problems (until the next...
PcManfm is available in the repos, you should be able to install it using Synaptic or Software Manager, any necessary dependencies would be automatically pulled in. As far as Nautilus is concerned,...
Just so you know: when Ubuntu (and Mint) install over the top of an existing linux os (even if "format" is selected) certain files and folders are not deleted. Mostly it's /usr/share and it's...
